The thirty something woman reached over the conveyer belt from her position behind me and pointed to the box of wipes in the centre of my shopping
" ohhh they look nice I didn't see them when I went round .." she read the box " oooooooh with coconut oil ! Just great for removing make up"
I smiled and had the good grace to blush
" They are for your botty not your face " I whispered
And she hid her face with her hands.
I love little moments like these
My bum now smells Gently of coconuts !
Like a Thai Curry
They probably could be used on your face as well.
ReplyDeleteSadly we are told that the 'flushable' bit is not really true.
Oh god I've paid all that for a nasty carbon footprint
DeleteOr paid all that for a stopped up septic system!! (not good for town or city sewage systems either, which is what I think Elephant's Child may have been referencing)
DeleteAnd of course you were next to her! You seem to attract inquisitive types.
ReplyDeleteLike flies to shit
DeleteI misread 'Thai Curry' as 'Tim Curry' and wondered how you would know what Tim Curry smells of. :D
ReplyDeleteCoconuts
DeleteI could just eat your bum
ReplyDeleteI bet you could
DeleteWhat do you need them for?
ReplyDeleteA clean bottom?
DeleteI love feeling squeaky clean
DeleteThey seem false to me. I like clean water clean.
DeleteI need all the help I can get
DeleteYou can say that again.
DeleteI will check back later to see what comments you get John this is ever so funny.
ReplyDeleteThings have gone rapidly down hill
DeleteHm, why not use them for your face? They haven’t got anything in them that would preclude that, have they?
ReplyDeleteI was being a little devil
DeleteAt least you whispered it in the nicest possible taste.
ReplyDeletethis might have put me off of thai curry for a while.
ReplyDeleteOr a bounty bar?
DeleteYes, John, you whispered it. You could have said it loudly!
ReplyDeleteI'm not an animal !!!
DeleteHahahahahaha! But don't believe the box. They are NOT flushable. They will clog up the sewer system like that huge plug of unspeakable proportions in the London sewer system that made the world news.
ReplyDeleteThey are biodegradable
DeleteThey don't degrade soon enough. They congregate in nasty gangs and stopper every pipe opening, and poor fellows must go down the sewer in boots and grapple with them. So, lean over and drop it in your waste basket and then all we "soddin," environmentalists will be OK-ish with them.
DeleteWhy do you want your bum to smell of coconuts? No, don't answer that.
ReplyDeleteIt will remind me of the funfair
DeleteHaha 🤣🤣🤣
Deletejohn gray is incorrigible!
ReplyDeleteHow about using a bidet or having a nice microfiber cloth and a bucket of soapy coconut water? Then you can alleviate the guilt of the non-flushable wipe.
ReplyDeleteNext time we see a fatberg being removed from a sewer we can say "I know someone who uses those wipes."
ReplyDeleteThey say that they are flushable!
DeleteHere in Canada, one of the news shows did a piece on the fact that none of the 'flushable' wipes should ever be flushed down the drain. They just don't disintegrate the way they're supposed to, so I would be cautious.
DeleteThey're not. Maybe there's a need to change once diet ... Good poop doesn't smear ... Fibres and probiotics...
DeleteOh no...
ReplyDeleteLOL! Oh, John :D
ReplyDeleteYay ... no more skid marks 🤣🤣
ReplyDelete52 wipes per pack seems an odd number.
ReplyDeleteone a week for four years? four a week for one year? very strange
coffee through my nose lol
DeleteYou will be all summer fresh down there. Wait until the dogs take a sniff.
ReplyDeleteCleanliness is next to godliness, or elegantly poo free.
ReplyDeleteand here I am thinking of the song "Oh, what a loverly bunch of coconuts ..." :)
ReplyDeleteWinnie will be so pleased or is she waiting for eu du plumber?!
Hugs!
I was with you til the image of your butt smells like Thai curry, John. eeeew. [prob could wipe one's hands or face too? I recently got coconut oil infused wipes for my pug's itchy paws; he like them]
ReplyDeleteYou naughty boy.
ReplyDeleteIf you only know what I’m thinking about... 😄🤣😂
XoXo
TMI!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh John, how gay can one get. I must look around for some whiskey smelling paper for Andrew's Christmas present.
ReplyDeleteA pina colada smelling bum .... do the wipes come with little cocktail umbrellas for a final embellishment 🤣 XXXX
ReplyDeleteThey say they are flushable but tests have shown that they do not break down. Put them in your airing cupboard and have nice scented sheets ?
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you're now lumbered with a large pack of environmentally unfriendly sanitary products (EUSP). All you can do with them is go to Houston and fire them into space.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could use face ones on your bum?
ReplyDeleteOh to be you. I would have simply smiled at her. Mmmm. Thai curry butt.
ReplyDeleteGood news and bad. There is to be a "Fine to Flush" logo (water industry regulations approved UK) for wet wipes. Bad news - they are still being tested. You could volunteer? Could Trelawnyd's drains take it?
ReplyDeleteSuch short, friendly encounters with others can brighten one's day, can't they? For a while, before a brain surgery performed miracles, I was isolated at home. I was lucky to have a loving husband and also other relatives who visited, but such passing encounters were impossible. What joy such brief exchanges bring now.
ReplyDeleteA lot of coverage about this in the media over the past few weeks. Tesco should be ashamed of themselves. Very bad for the environment and certainly not flushable.
ReplyDeleteThey are advertised asflushable
DeleteYou can use them for Winnie’s fanny flannel after using them to clean between the folds on her face. A great multi-purpose purchase. You’ll not only feel clean and sparkly, but you’ll evoke the feeling of a holiday on a tropical island.
